At times of low and impatience comes a great deal of seclution,
Wraped among blankets to protect you from the truth,
Sirens filling your ears pretending they understand
as it seems like the best remedy to this madness...
But ask yourself this, what would mohamed (s) do?
Yahya said that Malik had heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"I (mohammed (s)) was sent to perfect good character."
- Muwatta, Book 47, Number 47.1.8
